The vast majority of evictions in Texas are completed in +-21 days with an additional 10-14 days if a Writ of Possession is needed for a forced move out. 

If you know yourself and need the forcing function, pick the 20 year.I've heard of some products that allow to keep the same loan duration while adjusting your rate and the amortization schedule.  

Median income buyers are getting forced further and further out, so the lower-priced neighborhoods within the urban core would be my focus.

I wonder if they buy through the same companies (brokerages).I've also found that a lot of the "flipping" that they do is not forced appreciation like through renovations, it's market appreciation that they capitalize on.

This is a good thing as it will force laggard organizations to start considering remote options for more people, reducing their commuting times. 

The buyer can't force you.  

First, I'd like to force some equity for when the time comes to put a mortgage on the property and cash-out. 

And usually some forced equity but they are still  limited by cash on hand.. if we run the numbers and a good rule of thumb with max debt on the asset at least as it relates to SFR type rentals is that 200 per month per door.. which is basically a higher touch C class type area..

So even if it is 50% their responsibility, that doesn't mean you will be able to force the cost on them. 

Hi all,I’m a beginner investor, but if you purchase a home that is move in ready with the intentions to renovate a 2bd/1 ba into a 3bd/2BA will this create forced appreciation resulting in added equity?
